Please watch the video first to hear Zach's detailed explinations ...but to summerize: 1. Wake up earlier. He gets up at 5. 2. Read 30 minutes a day. He reads before bed. 3. Sleep at least 7 hours and go to bed and get up at consistant times. 4. Practice mindfulness and kindness. He meditates after morning showers for 10 or 20 minutes, journals for 3 minutes every morning, and writes down 4 things he's greatful for every night. 5. Spend at least 3 hours outside every week. He goes to parks and studies for at least two hours per week, runs outdoors, and spends time outside with family and friends. 6. Exercise 150 minutes per week. 7. Cultivate a beginners mindset (be open to learning new things).

I feel like you got your life optimized and I’m still trying to figure out basic stuff. I find you pretty inspiring though - I’m used to seeing med students online saying how stressed and awful everything is and it’s discouraging as someone applying in the upcoming cycle- especially since I have mental health struggles. It made me feel like I might be leveraging my well-being if I did continue on that path. You make it seem doable and that helps me try to finish this home stretch.

I've noticed that some habits are easy to think about; what exactly you would do in a given location at a given time, however, it's the actual execution that makes me struggle. For instance, I always set certain to-do lists on Notion for a given day for my study sessions, but I can never finish them all in just one day, and I always find my mind being interested in doing other things. Not necessarily procrastinating activities, but other productive activities instead of the planned ones. Anyway, as always, great video, Zach! The information are well-anchored on studies, the flow of the content is so smoother than my skin itself (and I just showered), and most of all, the aesthetics and diction is incredibly well-done. I'm left with no questions after watching the video nor have to find studies to confirm that what you just said is reliable, and as ever, looking forward to the next video!

Great video Zach! Love the sleep advice. Something I’ve learned about my sleep is that we typically are “awake” for much more time than we realize at night (can be more than an hour) so the typical thinking of “sleep from 12-7 gets me 7 hours” usually results in 6 or less. Wondering if you have noticed the same or read anything about that.

Hey Zach! totally agree with the items on the list. Thanks for putting them all together into perspective. I have been on the path of self improvement and self love for a few years now, im quite amazed when i look at your list and realize that i am already doing all of those things (without too much effort). Dont get me wrong, it didnt come to me overnight. On the contrary, it took me years to slowly incorporate each one of them into my daily habits. Its just goes to show how important yet basic those habits are in building a better life! It has been quite the journey and I am sure there is still a long way to go! :)

I feel like I've known these habits for a while and I even used to do the majority of them, but it was when my undergrad schedule would force then upon me. For example, the semesters I had 8 am classes every day of the week (the earliest class you can have at my college), I had the best grades, most consistent schedule, etc. And I always tried to get 8 hrs of sleep but it didn't always happen and I wasn't getting as much sleep as I needed. Now, when I have schedules where I only have an 8 am class on Tuesday and Thursday, but nothing in the morning Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I let myself sleep in because I'm up late finishing homework the nights before and I know if I don't get at least 7 hrs I will be unproductive the next few days. My wakeup/bedtime schedule is so unbalanced and I know this is not optimal, but it does allow me to catch up on sleep I miss from days where I have to get up early. If I were to wake up at 6 am every day (the normal time I wake up on early days), I would lose sleep. And it's so hard to tell myself to wake up at 6 am when I'm going to bed at 1 am and have nothing in the morning. So what would you prioritize, getting more sleep overall or being on a consistent schedule with less sleep? And yes I would try to finish my assignments before it gets too late in the night but the majority of the time that's really tough for me, I can't seem to get past Parkinson's Law even though I've been trying for 5 years.

Hi Zach Hope you're doing well I have some questions and I would be grateful if you help me 😊 I was wondering if it's better to apply to med schools right after graduation from high school ? ( I'm planning to study in the UK) Or is it a better idea to get my bachelor's and then apply to med school ? Initially I've planned to apply after i finished highschool because, I'm also so passionate about singing and acting, so I wanted to finish med school as soon as possible, because then I'll doctor at much younger age,and I like the idea of this . So that I'll get time to pursue my other passion alongside it . I did a little research, and most americans recommend to take bachelor degree before med school, because by that time a person will become more mature, and they believed that I should not miss college time, as it will be the most fun years of my life . I'm really stucked between this two options and don't know what's the best thing to do ? I appreciate any help and advice 🙏 Lastly I wanted to know that will I be able to apply to prestigious med school, if I get my bachelor's in music or performing arts ?

Is there a reason for the sleep inertia in the first study and can I somehow make the optimal life experience sooner than 4 hours. For me I think having a cold shower bumbs that up to like 30 minutes and I feel really good for the rest of the day. Might be because of the higher dopamine I have from the shower but idk. What do you think?

Summary: Summary (in my way): 1. Wake up early - 50% sleep cycle may be genetic ; the other 50% environment, cultural. - The earlier the better. Ie 5 AM. Studies show good results between 5 and 9 AM. - Peak performance may be around 1 hour after getting up. 2. Read 30 min a day. - Benefits of reading increase vocabulary, knowledge, writting ability. - Zach does it before going to bed. 3. Sleep at least 7 hours.How to sleep better: - get sunlight. - no caffeine after 2 AM. - be consistent at the same hours. - keep room dark, quiet and cold. - have a before-sleep routine. 4. Practice Mindfullness and gratitude. - 10-20 min a day. - You will become a better happier person. - After shower - Journal in the morning. - Gratitude journal in the evening. 5. Get 3 hours outdoor every week. - 2 hours read+study in the park. - 1 hour run in the park. 6. Excercise 150 min a week. - 20 min a day x 7 days. - 45 min a day x 4 days. - Grades improve. 7. Cultivate a begginers mindset. - you are not the best of the world. - be more humble regarding your knowledge.

When I went to school in Germany, the first lesson started at 7.30. Now it must be 7.45. At least in my region, it's not the same all over the country

in Austria school starts anywhere between 7:40 and 8:30, I imagine in Germany it’s about the same

I am from Germany and, in fact, school usually starts at around 7:30am across Germany :/ I still wanted to ask you a question though: How do you meditate? Do you use a mindfulness app like Headspace or just plain silence? I really have my issues with starting a consistent meditation practice... Perhaps you could do a video on that topic as well?

Just do what you love, studies has shown that most of not all people that are happy succeed, because their heart is into it. Motivation isn’t real, passion is.
